For this paper, I was thinking about comparing the two poems The Lamb and The Tyger by William Blake. My thesis for the paper would be something along the lines of in Blake’s Songs of Innocence and Experience, the two poems The Lamb and The Tyger show an interesting transition from “innocence” to “experience.” The Lamb is about a God who calls himself a lamb. The God is in fact meek and mild as described throughout the poem. When comparing The Tyger, it seems as though Blake is implying that it was God who made both the little lamb and the ferocious tiger, but that he may regret having created such a fierce beast.
In this paper, I would like to talk about the possibility that the God that created the Lamb represents Devine love, and that same God that created the tiger represents the anger of God. Through the circular questioning of The Tyger it seems to represent a tiger as it stalks its prey. This is something that could not come easily to some people. I know that there are a lot of people that know about the fact that Blake talked about himself as being the Prophecy and rewriting the Bible really made people uncomfortable.
They all had a crisis of faith. Within this essay you found out about Blake’s view on God and how his view is the right way to view things. I know that there is nothing that anyone could say to change our views today, but back then there was something about reading about what they should be thinking made them feel “safe.”.
